Facilitated by Olga M. Correa
JOIN HERE
In this workshop, participants will engage in a conversation and interactive activity about how we navigate the world with different personal and social identities. The goal is for participants to gain an understanding of how students from underrepresented may navigate different environments both on campus and in the community, and how we as faculty, staff, and administrators can do a better job of promoting students’ sense of belonging. 

Participants will be encouraged to list the 3 most important personal and social identities they hold on index cards or sheets of paper (for example, personal: teacher, parent, brother, friend; social: race, ethnicity, sex, gender, sexual orientation). After a conversation about why they chose the 3 identities, participants will engage in a dialogue about what it would feel like if they had to remove one of those identities. Ongoing questions include: How did you decide which identity to take out? Does this activity remind you of any real-life situations? How might underrepresented students have to navigate the same scenario in schools? What impact does this have on young people?
